Default Hobbistar 60 arf

Well i broke my little tiger trainer. went to pull some tail weights out and snapped the rear former. so i picked up this hobbistar bird as a replacement(im fixing the tiger, but thats gonna take some work.

i have to say, this is a nice bird. not shure what she flies like, but the build went great. only problem i have is the crappiness of the hardware package. i swear every screw ive tried has stripped, and half the part for the landing gear required some serious modification(they put the wrong gera in......i ended up using another set for the rear). the build quality on the actual plane is excelent though. i realy like the fact its covered in monokote and not the crap ass polyester stuff(ive hade to recover to horizintal stabs due to structural issues one other planes, im not impressed with the sticker crap). i got frustrated with it last night, so i didnt get to finish it. hopefuly this afternoon shell be airworthy. maybe i can talk my instructor into at least testing her out for me tommorow.


I also have to commend my LHS on this. i had originaly bought an lt-40, but it was broken. i was given this in trade(it was a little more.)
I wont talk about prices, but he has earned my loylty from now on. even if it means 50-100 more, i will buy from don still's hobby haven as much as possible now. hes a good man, and runs a great little shop over in beaumont. if anyones passing through this area, i highly recommend a pit stop there. hes been in that location for 50 or so years now, and has an impressive collection in his store.
